Yeah, except the pumps were running even though the fuel lines were ruptured, pumping the fuel up to the fire floor.... Why would they be pumping fuel up the building when the gensets the fuel was provided for were down with the fuel tanks in the basement? |

Why would they be pumping fuel up the building when the gensets the fuel was provided for were down with the fuel tanks in the basement? Because there was a large generator on the fifth floor connected to tanks in the basement via a pressurized line. The fire burned for several hours in building 7, but there was no fire fighting conducted there, deemed to risky to send people in.
